well either the Font is ideed corrupted and you need to replace it with
a clean copy (FontBook can help you check the fonts for corruptions, but
a clean bill in this application doesn't neessarely mean it is indeed
corruption-free - there are more powerful tools for that though).

Or it could be a problem with the Font cache.
You can go to your preferences to trash your Office font cache to force
Office to rebuild it and you can use a utility like Onyx (free) to trash
the user and system font cache (reboot immediately afterwards).
